Land moss into aquarium?


Recommended Posts

Been 6-7 days since placement in this set up. Seems to be doing well, thicker, and I can see new growth. I had it barely out of water at set up then lowered 1/2-5/8 submerged coverage for last 2 days. I’m gonna continue doing the raising and lowering, in random intervals each week. This week was two days down, next will be 3 days, then maybe just 1 day the following week. Will practice this for 2-ish months. Then start fully submerged intervals same random pattern same time frame. See how that goes then maybe steps deeper and fully submerged full time. 1st pic is 1/2-5/8” submerged.56DDAEBB-12B4-4D29-B87D-43E9954788C2.jpeg.f09d053ddae7e697f142ac011946e803.jpeg

Things look good. Is it starting to grow through the mat. What is going to happen at some point it’s going to go through that change from out of water totally submerged. The good this is very time I have done it I have not dotter die back but a a stage where everything keeps growing but it gets  more spread out like it needs a hair cut. I would what to give a haircut and I always toss the cuttings in to the batta tank if there is enough a make as big a ball as I can which for is about the size of a gum ball to golf ball. I just cut about half that was in one of my tanks and put it in that one. I used substrate to and spread a layer of it over just her and there. The moss grows up through it this ai 7” by 5”. And tank tanks that have eco complete seem to grow faster through image.jpg.11f484c8b58b321efe8771d3877c1f4e.jpg
